Toyota City, Japan, May 8, 2013 - (JCN Newswire) - Toyota Motor Corporation
(TMC) today announces its financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2013.
On a consolidated basis, net revenues totaled 22.0 trillion yen, an increase
of 18.7 percent compared to the previous fiscal year. Operating income

billion yen, while income before income taxes1 was 1.40 trillion yen. Net

billion yen.
Consolidated vehicle sales totaled 8.871 million units, an increase of 1.519
million units compared to the previous fiscal year.
Commenting on the results, TMC President Akio Toyoda said: "In the fiscal
year ended March, we experienced increased sales of our vehicles mainly in
North America and Asia, and, coupled with the results of companywide profit
improvement activities, we booked operating income of 1.32 trillion yen. We
have faced many challenges since 2009 but have learned valuable lessons,
including the need for Toyota to maintain sustainable growth. We believe that
the driver for sustainable growth is ultimately ever-better cars, and we are
launching cars developed with this mindset. We are also making progress in
reforming our manufacturing technologies and vehicle development processes
under the Toyota New Global Architecture and I am convinced that the positive
cycle defined for our business in the Toyota Global Vision is now gradually but
steadily taking shape."
In Japan, vehicle sales totaled 2.279 million units, an increase of 207,997
units compared to the previous fiscal year.
